Thats the point.
By calling the variable a "Flag" you are implying that
it is a boolean that can only be True/False thus
if Flag:
is completely readable. There is no need for the == True part.
The same is true of a predicate function. By naming it
isXXX you imply that it is a predicate and returns True/False
so you can write
if isXXX():
rather than
if isXXX() == True:
